Originating from small town of Chalco in Mexico, Edgar has spent most of his childhood in his family’s restaurant in Los Angeles, California and has always wanted to open his own. Chalco, located south of Mexico City, has a vibrant culinary scene with amazing little restaurants, street food vendors and markets, where you can find flavors from all over Mexico. Paying tribute to his original hometown and its incomparable gourmet experiences, Edgar opened his first Chalco’s Mexican Grill in Belfast, Ireland, before opening 3 more fast-casual Mexican food joints in Dubai and Jeddah. In 2022, he partnered with Priscilla to open Chalco’s Cantina, a Mexican restaurant and bar offering his original family recipes in Dubai Marina – one of the most-sought after neighborhoods in the city.
